Hi Guys,

I am having some custom gauges made up to suit an R33 RB26DETT engine, I want to get Yellow and Red permanent warning marks put on the gauges to match the style of the existing gauges.

I am not quite sure where i would find this information, so putting it out there for the common consensus!

What would be consistent Warning and Danger levels for the following sensors:

Water Temperature (degrees Celsius)

Oil Temperature (degrees Celsius)

Oil Pressure (PSI)

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback

Nobody ? :)

from general research i can't find any definitive answers, do the following sound safe?

Water Temp - 90'

Oil Temp - 115' or 130'?

Oil pressure - this one seems hard to find, low pressure warning should be around 20PSI?

Didn't want to start a new thread. So I picked up one of the old school greddy electronic oil pressure gauges, it has a warning setting but I've got a feeling it's going to be for excessive oil pressure rather than low oil pressure. Meaning that if I set the warning for 1-2 bar it's going to have the light on whenever it's over that.

Anyone know?

Yeah you would think so, it's just that I already have the boost and temp gauges from ten years ago and the way u set them is to move the needle to where u want the warning light to come on and if the guage reads over that, on comes the warning light.

However if I set the gauge at say 1-2 bar( it reads to about 10 bar) then anything over 1-2 bar will see the light come on, which is the opposite to what I obviously want. I may just have to install it and see

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
